I just won this 7 string (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160188252236) and its going to require some maintenance. The bridge is in horrid condition so I was wanting to replace it with a chrome fr licensed. So far the cheapest one ive found is about $150. Is there anywhere else I should be looking for a cheaper one?
I will also be filling the bad spots in the body and repainting it. Judging by the sellers description is there anything else that anyone would suggest me changing ?

i say u keep the black hardware cuz it would match it and u wouldnt need to spend more money on buying tuners,locking nut,etc... other than that a good cleaning and itll all good

I'd say spend the extra cash and get an original floyd rather than a licensed one... it will be worth it...

other than that suggestion, I'm sorry I can't further help you... :o

Well the seller said one of the tuners is mismatched so im probably going to be shopping to upgrade those anyway. If the locking nut will help it stay in tune better then I dont mind buying that either... so i just figure end result will be black with chrome hardware. Maybe some SD blackout pickups :D

Does this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360005474841) appear to be an original floyd to you or a licensed? Kus I can get the licensed for $75 new, id hate to spend a lot more to get the same exact thing. If theres a good cheap place to get an original 7 floyd someone please tell me. And if anyone has any suggestions for tuners by all means toss em out here!

That one in your link is licensed

The chrome one in your link is using the same exact image as the one in my link... Same model number too only its $20 more. I have to concur tho, i think that says licensed by the fine tuners... The search for an affordable real 7 string floyd is proving to be a difficult one.
